ComingAnarchy is a foreign affairs blog and we tend to hold back on domestic US partisan politics, but I’m compelled to make an exception in this case.

First, an Obama TV ad:

Then, an Onion news report:


Obama Promises To Stop America’s Shitty Jobs From Going Overseas

In NC, the state was battered by the departure of the textile industry en masse over two decades overseas. So people did what was asked of them and went back to school, learning about the crappy new field of biotech. Will these crappy jobs be the next to go overseas?

The rhetoric about this here is stale. Is it in America’s interest to spend tens of billions in education, tax incentives and startup costs to promote biotech here only to watch these jobs go elsewhere shortly thereafter?

What “New fields” will be next after that?
